Daisey,
Here are two sources that can help.

National Disease Research Interchange (NDRI), 215-557-7361

Cooperative Human Tissue Network (CHTN),
ht.//cancernet.nci.nih.gov/chtn/chtnmain.html

For both organizations you set up protocols for the specific tissues and how
you would like them to be collected, prepared (fixed, stored, frozen)etc..
CHTN will process them to paraffin for you if you so desire.

Brett
